Chenrezig, also known as Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit, is the Bodhisattva of Compassion and one of the most revered figures in Mahayana Buddhism. He embodies the boundless compassion of all Buddhas and is believed to hear the cries of sentient beings, responding swiftly to help relieve their suffering. Often depicted with multiple arms and eyes, Chenrezig symbolizes his ability to see and assist beings in all directions. His mantra, "Om Mani Padme Hum," is widely recited to cultivate compassion and loving kindness.
